I like being agreed with...specially by JB!

Seriously though....it just a bit of fun. All mates, all bikers and all on here for the giggle!

And to answer Alan's question....NO

still no SV. I am still dealing with the insurance company with mine 18 months later and as is my want, I broke Wombats and have not got around to fixing it up.....won't be long though as I have the new clutch cable! (Though why a clutch cable would go on a bike I rode I have no idea!

)

Will be back in Soho soon with Anna to make lots of noise and will make sure I bring the valium for Big Ape!

I enjoyed the show very much on Friday and I reakon if I was on two wheels I might have got carried away and gave it a twist or two

.

It was a good sight and sound to behold and the amount of people who came running around the corner from Old Compton street cameras in hand to witness the spectacle confirm this. If I was a business in Frith Street I would not mind the bikes adding to the already noisy hustle and bustle and atmosphere of the street.

Some were revving the nuts of bikes with the back to the pavement which annoyed the innocent bystanders getting caught in the blast. (I found this personnally quiet enjoyable but then again I've stood behing Top Fuel funny cars and Vulcan Bombers at full revs and enjoyed it so perhaps I'm different)

Also there are residents in the area.

I think as long as the bikes are actually facing up the road and it's not to late at night then why not. If anybody actually complains then I'm sure you lot are resonable enough to listen and compromise.

But I do wonder if those on the bikes realise just how noisy and mad it got for a few minutes.

Good fun I thought and so did the tourists. After all your not exactly Hells Angels are you.

Well I'm glad I wasn't there!

Given that you're all parked illegally, many have illegal cans and number plates, do you really want to attract the attentions of Mr. Plod? I don't think so.

You'll be moaning when they come and nick you. Don't poo in your own back yard. Many enjoy that meet - myself included, from time to time - and it'll all end in tears if we don't self-regulate to some degree.

I like having a noisy can and I like to 'give it large' occasionally - but not in close proximity to the 'feds' and people who are trying to eat and drink.

If it was a car park outside a pub (or The Ace) it wouldn't be so bad, but that location in Frith Street simply ain't appropriate.
